The Russian billionaire bought a Greek island for $ 153 million

The island of Scorpios, which is located in the Ionian Sea between the large islands of Lefkada and Meganisi, is quite famous. In 1962, the famous Greek billionaire Aristotle Onassis bought it for $ 15 thousand and drove here a real heavenly heavenly paradise with tennis courts, alleys, beaches and a moor. On this island, he celebrated in 1968 a wedding with Jacqueline Kennedy. For some time, the former first lady of the United States lived here and after the death of her second husband in 1975.

The island was put up for the sale of Athena Onassis Roussel, the granddaughter of a billionaire. According to rumors, she asked him for $ 250 million from Emir Catar, but he did not like the price, recently he bought a group of islands nearby for $ 11 million. As a result, the Russian oligarch got the famous island at a relatively stock price of $ 153 million. Who specifically from Russian billionaires became the owner of Scorpios is unknown. Is it a lot or a little for the most famous private island in the world? It is difficult to say, but CNN journalists, for example, found nearby the same island, called Nafsik, so it costs only $ 8 million. By the way, they used to take tourists to the island of Scorpios, now, of course, it will not be possible to take a walk and sink on the paths of the ordinary people.
